Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a well-known medicinal herb used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for centuries.

It is commonly classified as an adaptogen, meaning it is traditionally believed to help the body manage stress and restore balance. Ashwagandha is usually used in powder, capsule, or extract form, made from its roots.

In traditional use, it is associated with supporting energy levels, improving stamina, promoting relaxation, and enhancing overall physical and mental well-being. It is also often included in herbal formulations for sleep and stress support.

Because of its strong therapeutic properties, ashwagandha is mainly used as a dietary supplement rather than a culinary ingredient.
